Sony doesn't license their name out, though they do have other companies make many of their products and components for them, then Sony sells those products under their own name. I think Toshiba rebadges someone else's TV with their branding for at least some models.
Westinghouse is another one of those names that was licensed to some other company to make TVs and computer monitors.
The one thing I see is that it's merging the two different product types that have different rates of advancement. I would think that might not be such a good idea. This might make the performance gulf between typical systems and gaming systems a lot larger.
The part that gets me is that it's somehow the hardware maker's job to police what runs on the hardware. How are they supposed to know that whether software is pirated, and under what standard should Intel, AMD, Dell, HP, etc. be the gatekeepers of what runs on a consumer's computer? Maybe they've been "spoiled" (or maybe soiled) by the console systems where the console maker controls the hardware, OS, the specifications, and the games that run on it.
I would be happier if they make it so I don't have to restart Firefox every few days, once a day or even a few times a day, in order to get it to be useable.
And no, for anyone with helpful suggestions, I don't have oodles of plug-ins, in fact, a very tiny number: 4. Adblock Plus, Flashblock, FxIF and NoScript.
I think you missed a bit of the point by fixating on just one kind of scam.
Scammers can go around saying they don't have any money at all.
All a scammer has to con an honest person is say that they need money for their family, even if no family is there. They can even have pictures of some family that really isn't theirs, or are really estranged. In some areas, fake panhandlers live better than the people that they con, even though no one gains anything buy giving them money.

From looking at the boxes, only a handful of parts in most kits have such a limited use that you suggest. I don't know if newer instructions are like the old ones, but Lego was pretty consistently good at showing many different projects that can be built from the same kit without showing how to make them all. I think the box images still show that same sort of thing.
There aren't any gDoc outages that I've seen. The stories so far are about gmail outages, and it's leading people to question whether gDocs will suffer the same.
That said, I don't remember the last time I've had any Google service down. It happens but not so often. My problem is that my internet service is a tad flaky, in part because wireless is my only partly decent broadband option.
And that flakiness leads me to avoid "cloud" computing. You're relying on a service that has no credible assurances of uptime, and if your internet service is down, then what? My experience with T1 service is such that I might be lucky to get same-day repairs on that internet service. I'm not fond of the VOIP idea for the same reason either, if my internet is down, phones are down too, leaving no way to get in contact with people, except for mobile phones whose signal is weak inside the building.
SSD is still a bit of a slow transition because the price is high. Excluding select drives that are even more expensive, their alleged performance improvements are dubious.
Notebook computers with SSDs are very few in number. because they are still bloody expensive. With a regular high capacity 250GB+ hard drive costing less than $100, who wants to pay $500 for a 64GB SSD? And those generally aren't even using the fast chips either, they aren't any faster unless you compare them to 1.8" hard drives, going against 2.5" or 3.5" drives, forget it.
The 20k hard drive isn't even intended for desktops, there aren't even 15k desktop drives, they are workstation and server drives.
The higher speed drives aren't so much for their sequential transfer rates by themselves, but their random seek rates. They are trying to get high I/O per second rates (IOPS), which is what a lot of servers need to be at their peak.
I think there's some bit about probable cause if it looks like a chemistry department in a residential neighborhood. It wasn't discovered by some arbitrary home invasion but by firefighters coming in to put out a fire, so I'm not sure if a warrant would be required.
Huh? Did you RFTA? TFA doen't say what chemicals are actually there, nor does it say anything but vagueness about quantities. There's quite a bit of dangerous stuff in what's considered "ordinary" supplies in household bathrooms and kitchens, but they seem to be treated as harmless by some people.
It's kind of a silly product anyway. Soon enough, Intel will release quad core chips intended for notebook use, so people won't have to use these desktops shoehorned into a fat notebook form and bad battery life. It's not really a product for artists, artists generally don't need workstation graphics boards, and I don't think they need quad core that badly yet either. It's more of an engineering notebook.
I think it's a bit much to be inciting what's effectively a DDoS. For some reason, if it's one person repeatedly calling a person, it's harassment, I haven't heard of a lot of people making one call each to the same end being called the same, but it's just as vicious.
I really don't see the point in that. Lenses themselves generally don't take much power, and a potentially complicated seal for a lens doesn't make sense. I don't know if flashes take excessive power, but it seems that those too could be handled by an up-sized central fuel cell in the camera and just deliver power rather than gasses. Even better yet, maybe a fuel cell in the flash itself if power is really that much of a concern. Besides, one of the popular things to do is use an off-camera flash for interesting lighting, something better done with a built-in power system rather than requiring it to be connected to an external tank when not on the camera.
Over 100 PHP projects and products and over 200 web hosts that have been committed to PHP 5.2 and no earlier for over a year.
That's not an answer to the question of how many projects would be left behind, that's a lower bound on the number of projects moving to the new version.
Where did you learn your argument forms, from a politician?
The problem is that I heard from my JP teacher that buildings are numbered based on when they were built, not where they are in relative location. The first building on the block is numbered "1", regardless of where it was built.
If you don't want your picture taken, you have to stay at home.
It's more than that, make that stay inside the home, with curtains always drawn and doors closed. Google is photographing private property and whatever or whoever happens to be on that property, recording forever what may have been a fleeting moment.
I've seen "k" mean thousand and "M" mean million, which is from the modern SI measurement system. In my opinion, it's easier than dealing with exponents. And I've seen it used a lot in the US on billboards and ads, despite this country's unwillingness to embrace SI.
If one were to go there to eat, about how easy would it be to find? I don't think it's enough that one knows about the restaurant. Some foreigner probably isn't going to find it without considerable effort.
It is. So it's a stupid name for the project, because it makes it harder to search for it. When will people learn that unique names make you easier to find?
It may be a lame name, but I don't think for that reason. I don't think your reason is a problem.

Back when I was young I was heavily into photography, and often carried an SLR with a 135mm lens.
I don't think 135mm is considered that long of a lens anymore.

For those wondering how many projects will be left out in the cold, here's your answer:

Over 100 PHP projects and products and over 200 web hosts that have been committed to PHP 5.2 and no earlier for over a year.
That's not an answer to the question of how many projects would be left behind, that's a lower bound on the number of projects moving to the new version.

I think you should email this to Jonathan Coulton.
The problem is that I heard from my JP teacher that buildings are numbered based on when they were built, not where they are in relative location. The first building on the block is numbered "1", regardless of where it was built.

I think the point is that anything that needs judges is not a sport, due to it being subjectively instead of objectively scored.
So you say you know better what longstanding words mean than the chaps that run the Oxford English Dictionary. I do look forward to your newsletter.
I've seen "k" mean thousand and "M" mean million, which is from the modern SI measurement system. In my opinion, it's easier than dealing with exponents. And I've seen it used a lot in the US on billboards and ads, despite this country's unwillingness to embrace SI.
Is that what it's about? Who came up with the lousy idea of mixing modern and ancient number systems?
If one were to go there to eat, about how easy would it be to find? I don't think it's enough that one knows about the restaurant. Some foreigner probably isn't going to find it without considerable effort.

It is. So it's a stupid name for the project, because it makes it harder to search for it. When will people learn that unique names make you easier to find?
